Answers:    You need to look at, and smell the "fluid".
It may simply be condensation from the A/C , or a coolant trickle.

If it's clear, and has no odor....It's freshly condensation. Kind of like hose down beads that build up on a cold Coke can.

If it smells sweet, and is sort of off color, it could be coolant.

If it is cloudy and slippery it's oil.

I hold just fixed a coolant dribble on a 2000 Taurus with 66K. It be on the timing cover gasket, close to where you describe. Leak be small, and I could have driven it, but chose to repair.

I suspect that you can drive next to care, i.e. fetch coolant and check very regularly, until you can go and get it fixed
